Farr 30 (Mumm 30)

Farr 30 (Mumm 30) is a 30 ′ 10 ″ / 9.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Bruce Farr and built by McDell Marine, dk Yachts, Carroll Marine, Ovington Boats Ltd., Beneteau, and Waterline Systems, LLC starting in 1995.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Farr 30: End of an era

Published on March 5th, 2018 by Editor -->

The Farr 30, designed by Farr Yacht Design, was first built by Carrol Marine and launched in 1995. Originally named the Mumm 30 after title sponsor Champagne Mumm, the class rebranded to Farr 30 in 2007 when the sponsorship ended.

Considered a lovely boat to sail, this state-of-the-art offshore one design quickly became an international attraction. After becoming officially recognized by World Sailing, Chris Law won the class’s first World Championship held in 1997 at Marseille, France.

However, time has moved on, and the escalating costs to compete with a 30 footer on an international scale has impacted the class. After cancelling the 2009 Worlds, with reduced regional attendance from 2010 to 2016, the worlds was scratched again in 2017.

Rather than maintain it’s something it’s not, the Class is looking to go back in time and rescind its international status. Class President Darren Burns reports:

Our 2016 international regatta in Sweden came as close as we have come to qualifying in the last five years, and given that we have mostly transformed into a regional fleet class, the executive has taken the decision to no long support the class as a World Sailing one design yacht.

This has been a difficult decision, however, we feel that supporting this classification is no longer financially viable, and for reasons noted, is likely to not produce another world championship in the foreseeable future.

Out of the 200 plus boats built, we have a small cluster of fleets on the north west and north east coasts of North America, Northern Europe, and the Middle East. These fleets continue to hold one design fleet racing though out the season and have seem some fleet building over the last two years.

The longevity of this class is a testament to how great the Farr 30 is as mixed fleet boats. Many new sport boats have come and gone over the years and most have not been able to match the boat for boat agility of the Farr 30.

In the next few weeks we will be posting the dates and locations of the 2018 OD events on the class website along with results updates and any other news the fleet would like to share. Please use this as a resource for your own local fleet racing and send any other posting along to be shared with the class.

Inside the Classes: Farr 30

• By Dave Reed
• Updated: May 7, 2018

It only takes a pause before Rod Jabin pulls a favorite memory from more than a decade of racing Farr 30s: It’s the 2015 Farr 30 World Championship in Seattle, far from his hometown of Annapolis, Maryland, when a big weather front sweeps across the racecourse just as Jabin’s Ramrod is rounding the weather mark.

“We’d just set the kite when a 28-knot front came through and we were blasting along at 18 knots in the old girl. It was full planing, hanging on, and everyone else is wiping out around us. We were able to stay on our feet all the way down to the bottom mark where I turned around and saw that everyone else was gone. It’s fun when it gets really fast and you’re able to not wipe out. That got the heart rate going for sure.”

Before getting into the Farr 30 class, Jabin, who owns Annapolis’ premier marina, campaigned a Farr 40. And, like other Farr 40 owners at the time, the little sister from the local design office made for an excellent training platform. The switch to a smaller boat was natural transition for Jabin. “It’s similar to the Farr 40 in that it’s a fun boat that feels like a big-keel spade-rudder boat, versus a higher aspect rudder, thinner keel boat like the Melges 32.”

Every once in a while, “the magic happens” with raceboat design, says Jabin, and the Farr 30 is one example, a boat that has stood the test of time and remains one of the best one-designs of all time. The combination of sail area, beam, draft, and displacement make it a fun and challenging boat to sail upwind and downwind. It demands perfect crew work and meticulous preparation. “With the help of professionals like Chris Larson and Darren Jones we’ve worked hard to get the last little bit out of this thing.”

Farr 30s around the world have been turbo-charged and refined to the nth degree by professional teams, but the final percentage in boatspeed available to teams today, says Jabin, is found in technique, rig tune, and sails. “We’re continually looking at sail designs and improving those,” he says. “Where do we go from here? I don’t know.”

With the Farr 30 class having recently lost its international status, says Jabin, the class is struggling to reimagine itself, but he’s moving forward with a solution to put new life in the old girl, speeding her up with an asymmetric spinnaker quiver for local handicap racing.

“I’ve ordered a prod and some asymmetric sails, which takes it away from its one-design configuration,” he says, “but we think it will introduce a whole level of excitement to the boat and the class. Hopefully, the other guys will follow me. We’re excited about something new and fresh for us. I think it will definitely be faster, and whether it works out rating-wise, I’m not sure.”

The six-foot prod will be bolted to the bow, and as a result, will dramatically change how they sail the boat downwind. “We’ll add a bunch of turning blocks and ropes and try to figure out how to sheet things,” says Jabin. “A fractional code zero will be unbelievable.”

“The boat was not initially built to support a masthead code zero or asymmetric sails. These [new] sails are probably 100 square meters larger, so the first thing we did was go to Southern [Spars] and ask how much the rigs could take. Working with them, we’re making sure the sails are flat enough that we get forward speed instead of rolling the boat on its side.”

It’ll be a dramatic change to Ramrod , which Jabin bought in 2010, but it’s a due improvement that could entice new teams to Farr 30 racing. There are plenty of used boats available, many in excellent racing condition already. “I don’t know how many were built—just a lot—and there are a lot around the world and all over the place,” he says, pointing out the blue-decked boat in the adjacent slip. “Kevin McNeill’s boat is a museum quality Farr 30, right there. You can continue to work and improve them.”

Jabin’s recommendation for curious about used Farr 30s is to make sure the deck is sound and dry. “They used balsa core so some high-load areas can be soft,” he says. “Just make sure the keel-to-hull joint is good. It’s best if the boat’s been drysailed. I can take any Farr 30 and turn it into one of the best Farr 30s in the world without a whole lot of work. It’s old school technology.”

Ramrod , understandably, is in prime condition, and Jabin says the major projects of late have been to replace the rudder bearings and tube to make his helm “silky smooth.” They repainted deck with in-laid trim marks and re-cored areas around winches. “The biggest thing really has been the sail inventory,” he says. “Continuing to work with the guys at North to make sure we have the latest design and be as fast as we can be. To get it to fit the rig and the mast bend characteristics is key.”

The Farr 30 demands fluid crew mechanics, and there are key positions on every boat, says Jabin, who sails with seven crew. The crucial parts, he says, are certainly the bowman and the trimmers. “Because this boat is so physical when it gets windy and we don’t dip-pole jibe, it’s end-to-end, so it’s a big job to slam the pole up there. Trimmers are crucial because they can make or break you. This boat reacts to the load on the mainsheet, which is absolutely the throttle. The trimmers have to be on their game.”

Review of Farr 30

Basic specs..

The Farr 30 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a long keel.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.69 - 1.79 meter (5.54 - 5.84 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Farr 30 is 2.36, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.5 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Farr 30 is about 146 kg/cm, alternatively 819 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 146 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 819 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

I'd like some thoughts on this boat. I realize that this is a light boat. I am used to much stouter construction (like the Ericsons) and worry about how a Farr 30 would handle rough seas. Light construction does not necessarily mean weak, although I looked at an Olson 30 and I was stunned at how thin the hull was. Also, how much "headroom" is there in the cabin? Would one be foolhardy to take a boat like this from Ft. Lauderdale to the Bahamas . . . in a bit of a blow? Ericsun  

First of all, over the years Farr has designed a lot of 30 footers but as far as I know he never designed a model that was actually called a Farr 30. I have owned several Farr designed boats and raced on quite a few of his company's designs. I really love Farr's work. That said, Farr's designs vary quite widely. Some are out and out race boats and frankly would be ill suited to what you are proposing, some are racer/cruisers and are workable but less than ideal for what you propose, and others are well thought out performance cruisers and would work extremely well for what you are proposing. Based on the two Farr boats that I have owned, I have found that while Farr's designs are on the light side, the engineering is amazing. Depending on the specific 30' Farr design in question, while an Ericson of the same length may appear more 'stout', the Farr may actually be a sturdier more robust boat, and may have a higher ballast to weight ratio as well. (If you stripped away the liners you may actually find that an Ericson hull of the same weight was not really thicker than the Olsen 30 hull, and it certainly was not constructed with the loving care and high quality materials that went into an Olsen 30. ) Much of the weight savings in Farr's designs comes from details such as omitting liners and pans, which not only saves weight but also allow easier maintenance, and using light weight interior components (like the balsa cored doors on my boat, and the thinner but higher grade metric plywoods used throughout). It also comes from keeping the freeboard moderately low (especially on his earlier cruising designs relative to the newer boats) which in turn, often means not as much headroom as dedicated cruisers of the same length. The down side of this construction approach is that it uses expensive materials, requires careful workmanship, and requires a lot of labor, and so Farr's boats were generally a little more expensive when new than typical production boats and the finishes can be simpler and less 'glossy'. In a general sense, Farr's boats have less room than dedicated cruising boats of the same length overall. They are designed to sail really well first and to house people second. Its not that they are uncomfortable. The cruising designs have very workable interior layouts, that are well thought out and liveable, often with care focused to produce comfort underway, with good seaberths and galleys that make sense when a boat is heeled, but compared to equal length boats, they are typically a bit spartan. I know that I look at this a little differently than most, but I size boats by their displacement. In the case of Farr's cruising boats, they tend to be quite long for their weight. As a result, they tend to offer a whole lot of room, a whole lot of seaworthiness, a whole lot of carrying capacity, are easier to handle, and offer a much more comfortable motion compared to shorter boats of equal weight. But, as noted above, they may seem small when compared to cruising boats of the same length. To me the greatest luxury in life is a boat that sails well in a wide range of conditions, but that is not everyone's cup of tea. It what draws me to the performance cruisers designed by Farr. I do want to reiterate, since you have not actually specified a model, that Farr's office also produced a whole lot of dedicated race boats, and while these were great boats for the race course in their day, in the most extreme cases, such as some of his smaller full blown IOR designs, they are not well suited for anything more than coastal cruising for short spells of time. Respectfully, Jeff  

Jeff: Thanks so much for all the information you provided. There is a www.Farr30.com website that I believe is trying to drum up US support for the "Farr 30." From what I can gather, these are boats designed, but not built by Farr for the Pacific Basin market. It is a rare boat in the US. Check out: http://www.farrdesign.com/054.htm) . However, based on your comments, it seems that limited off shore use, such as a passage from Ft. Lauderdale to the Bahamas, or the Chicago-Macinaw race would be ill-advised in a vessel such as this. Many thanks again!! Ericsun  

http://www.farrdesign.com/production_designs1.html Ther are at least 2 boats referred to as Farr 30, the 30/9.2 and the 30/920, as well as a couple other 30 footers carrying other names, but apparantly designed by Farr. Does it look like any of them or fall into the years listed for construction?  

The Farr30 that I'm referring to is the 30/920.  

This is one of Farr's IOR era half-tonners. They were out and out IOR rule beater race boats, with minimal accomodations. It could make those passages with an extremely knowledgable crew but it would be a poor choice if that is your long term goals. Seabreeze: Appropos to our ongoing discussion about the impact of rule beating, this is actually a good example of how distorting a design to a racing rule compromises the quality of the design of the boat that is produced. In this case it is the distortions of the IOR rule vs a design that ignores all racing rules. Here we have two designs by the same designer in nearly the same time period. If you compare design number 54 to design number 87 (on the link you provided http://www.farrdesign.com/production_designs1.html ) the fixed keel versions of design 87 produced boats that had better accomodations, and which were faster and more seaworthy than design 54. Design 87 would be a pretty nice boat to own today for whatever purpose you chose to use her (other than grandprix racing) while boats built to design 54 are pretty much obsolete for almost all purposes, with some limited exceptions such as daysailing or club level racing. That is my point when I say that a boat is an obsolete rule beater. Respectfully, Jeff

World’s coolest yachts: Mumm 30

• June 15, 2021

We ask top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times. Here, Mark Mills nominates the Mumm 30

“I picked the Mumm 30 partly out of respect for Bruce Farr,” says designer Mark Mills. “[Farr] was so competitive in IOR in my teens, then equally strong in IMS as well as dominating the Whitbread Round the World Races, while penning some of the most successful ‘big boat’ one-design classes ever. Through all those different briefs he managed to maintain a fidelity to light, clean, simple design, no matter what rule pressures applied.

“The Mumm 30 for me is the most distilled essence of the clean, light, simple philosophy. The first production one-design to bring non-overlapping jibs on swept spreader rigs to the mainstream, it was drawn to be fast, easy to build, and straightforward to sail.

The Mumm 30 remains a great deal of fun to sail. Photo: Gilles Martin-Raget

“It went well in all conditions but perhaps its finest achievement was 11 years of the Tour de France à la Voile, where the variety of conditions and distances challenged many of the world’s best sailors in one of its best boats.”

Mumm 30 stats rating:

Top speed: 28 knots LOA: 9.43m/31ft Launched: 1995 Berths: 4 Price: $85,000 Adrenalin factor: 70%

Yacht designer Mark Mills is based in Wicklow, Ireland, and has drawn some of the most stunning and successful custom yachts of the past two decades, including the WallyCento Tango, Maxi 72 Alegre 3, and IRC winners Tiamat and Mariners Cove. Mills has also created one-designs such as the Cape 31 and New York Yacht Club’s IC37.

Farr 30 Deck Layout

A cascaded 16:1 backstay with a 4:1 and twin 2:1 purchases provides the power to tune the sail shape when the breeze exceeds 7 knots.The double-ended 4:1 runs forward to 29 m Carbo AirBlocks® behind the mainsheet traveler and cleats on either side of the cockpit. Using backstay tension to add mast bend and headstay tension depowers both the mainsail and the jib.

57 mm Carbo AirBlocks® and a ratchet block mounted on a swiveling base on the cockpit floor make the Farr 30's 6:1 gross-tune mainsheet system easy to adjust from any angle. A 4:1 double-ended fine-tune is lead to either side of the cockpit through 40 mm Carbo blocks, resulting in a final 24:1 purchase. A pendant (dark blue) reduces the distance between blocks for a shsorter mainsheet and faster trimming.

Mainsheet Traveler

The Farr 30 has a double-ended captive ball bearing CB traveler system. The powerful 5:1 controls terminate on the cockpit sides next to the backstay and mainsheet for complete mainsail control by the helmsman and mainsheet trimmer.

Farr Yacht Design had the fun and simplicity of dinghies in mind when they created the Farr 30 (formerly the Mumm 30). The 9.43-meter boat has several design features which make it fast and easy to sail, such as a carbon mast and a layout that reduces crew size. High stability and a fractional rig give the Farr 30 speed upwind, while a choice of symmetrical or asymmetrical spinnakers provides versatile control downwind. The class association upholds strict one-design rules to keep costs down while maintaining a large and competitive fleet. As of May 2008, US Watercraft M30s are equipped with complete Harken winch and hardware packages.

Class description.

The International Farr 30 One Design Class Association was formed as the owners association to support the class and promote One Design class sailboat racing amongst owners which led to the class becoming an ISAF Recognised Class. This entitles the class to hold World Championships. The boat was originally named the Mumm 30 after its original title sponsor Champagne Mumm this sponsorship ended in 2007 and the class rebranded to Farr 30 using a modified version of the Farr 40 class logo. Both the Farr 30 and 40 had been under the management of Geoff Stagg since their inception however in 2009, the Farr 30 Class owners association assumed control of the class. The boat has been produced by a number of builders with Carrol Marine USA and Ovington Boats GBR building the majority other builders are DK Composites and US Watercraft.
